Taiwo Gbolahan aka Scammer, a notorious armed robber on the wanted list of the police, suspected to be a member of the gang that attacked and killed a police sergeant earlier in the year at Akala-Mushin, a suburb of Lagos, during an operation to rid the area of drug Lords and armed bandits, was yesterday, September 18th, arrested at Akala by the operatives of the command, led by Area Commander in charge of Area D Command, Mushin, ACP Akinbayo Olasoji.
A tip off from a well meaning citizen to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Edgal Imohimi, that the gangster was seen in the ghettos of Akala, prompted the CP to direct the Area Commander to personally lead an operation for the arrest of the kingpin who had been terrorising the metropolis for sometime.
The raid carried out in the ghetto hideout led to the arrest of the said Taiwo Gbolahan aka Scammer. He was searched immediately and a handset and numerous SIM cards were recovered from him.
Investigation into the source of the handset revealed the owner as Memunat Opeyemi Zerbo, female, of Orile Iganmu. She was invited to the police station where she identified Taiwo as part of a three man gang of armed robbers that robbed her valuables, same day, 18/09/2018, at about 0517hrs. She narrated how the gang, armed with guns, cutlass and dagger, robbed her of her handset and SIM card which they configured and without her authorisation, transfered the sum of one hundred and seventy thousand Naira (N170, 000. 00) from her account.
The suspect who didn't deny committing the crime is presently helping the police in its effort to arresting other members of the gang at large.
